Governor Rendell says the family of the late Lieutenant Governor is “thrilled” that someone of Hillary Clinton’s stature will attend the memorial service:
“I think everyone is thrilled that she’s coming, and Catherine was very close to the Clintons from when they emerged on the national scene in 1992 all the way up through the Pennsylvania primary, and even after that.”
After the service on Friday, the capitol rotunda will reopen at 2pm, at which time the public will have until 2pm on Saturday to pay their respects to Lieutenant Governor Knoll, who will lie in repose in the rotunda.
